Hey guys, I got a 1996 Camaro wiht a 3.8, and have been looking for a bypass pulley so I can take out the compressor. It worked for me for a bout three days when i bought it, which was about 3 years ago lol. Now I've been comparing part numbers for the V8's Compressor and the 3.8 and the 3.4, and found out they're all the same compressor ( HD6). But when I go to look for a bypass, theres one for the 3.4 and the 5.7, but what about us 3.8'ers being thrown on the back burner. has anybody tried thios method on their V6 3.8 to see if its compatible, or does anybody know any knowledge if the compressors, tho the same system and part number, are different? thanx.
